America Diary III

    American people are fun loving  people, they enjoy their life in a energetic way, they live their life to the fullest. You can say, this is the country of youngsters, country of people who are young at heart and not by age. Here, you can find old men riding the 'Harley Davidson' bikes, you will find the old ladies wearing the stylish cloths going for the dates in the evening and you will also find the old people getting married to start their new life again.
     I was surprised and amazed when I saw a person of almost 75 years working as taxi driver, I saw 80 years old grannies working in various private offices and firms with the same productivity. These people come to their offices by driving their trucks or cars on their own. Moreover I also heard about one older couple that when they were shifting to the Los Angeles from Chicago, which are at least 3000 miles away from each other, they drove their truck by themselves all the way. Can you imagine this? I was really impressed, everybody here seems so energetic and full of enthusiasm. You will hardly find anybody sitting in the home during the weekends. People will work hard during the weekdays and will have fun on the weekends.  So while I was still struggling with the jet lag, my first weekend came up and I started planning for my first weekend with the help of Jog family, we decided to enjoy the sun bath at Laguna beach in the Orange county before hot and arid Californian summer starts burning the atmosphere. Laguna beach is one of the famous beach in Southern California. The summer vacations were just started and the families were out to wander. It was my first weekend in the US and I was eager to click the snaps of the beautiful city of Lagoona beach. Few of them are here.

Visiting the eastern frontiers III

Gangtok :- Capital of Indian state of Sikkim, located among the long ranges of Himalayas and on the eastern edge of the country. When we were entering into Sikkim, a routine check was performed and we were allowed the entry into the state. Our taxi was changed, we were given local taxi and a local driver according to a law of state transport authority. Due to clean roads, disciplined traffic and cool weather, Gangtok looked like an European city in appearance. Our stay was for three days, after taking enough rest, next day we started for 'Tsangpo Lake' very early in the morning. The narrow road goes through the high mountain ranges, we were not aware how far and high we were going. Suddenly when I looked out of our car, I saw the roads were covered with the snow and we were now among those high snowy mountains. There was a considerable traffic of vehicles of Indian Army, off course Indo-China  border was close. In few minutes we reached near the lake. It was awesome view, every...

My days in Japan : II

 On our journey to Mumbai international airport we found out that my and one of my colleague who initially missed our van had a ticket of same airline but the guy who boarded the van at the end was having a ticket of different airline. He became nervous as he was going to travel entire journey from Mumbai to Tokyo all alone and for the first time.     We reached Mumbai international airport six in the evening. After getting inside we immediately checked in our luggage to avoid extra burden. I sat on a bench, thinking of how to spend time. I wondered, for a last whole week, I was in need of some spare time for relaxation and I could not afford it but now I was having a plenty of time to spend and I was getting bored I was not feeling like to take a rest.    Three of us were wearing suit, neck tie, in a perfect formal attire, I was feeling like we are part of some high profile delegation and are visiting Japan to attend some important co...

My days in Japan: III

 It was late in the night according to local time when our flight landed on Narita airport. We were standing in the queue for immigration. "We are almost 2 hours late", my friend muttered. I saw in wall clock it was showing 11:30. "Now at least two hours to reach the apartment at Rokugoudote", I said to myself, a distance of approximately 65 kilo-meters. I was worried about the mode of transport, I was totally unaware of the fact that the taxi which was supposed to pick up us from Narita airport was already gone. Immigration officer demanded my passport and invitation letter then he looked at me and called his colleague, discussed something with him. His colleague then asked me whether anybody is accompanying me, after I pointed my finger to my friend both of us were told to wait in some waiting room. He did not ask us any single question or not even explanation for something. We were sitting there for almost half an hour like a statue, I was so tired that I was not...
